Will I face unexpected charges at the Hertz counter in Coral Gables when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Hertz booking in Coral Gables are clearly shown at the time of reservation and in your confirmation email, so you know exactly what you are paying before you arrive at the Hertz counter.
On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the Hertz counter in Coral Gables charges you for something that was not listed on your confirmation and was not an optional add-on you accepted. If that happens, Hola Car Rentals will work with Hertz to remove or reimburse the charge after verification.
The only costs outside this guarantee are:
- Optional add-ons you choose at the counter (GPS, child seats, prepaid fuel)
- Usage-based charges (tolls, fuel shortfall, traffic fines)
Where is the Hertz location in Coral Gables?
The Hertz branch in Coral Gables is located at 370 South Dixie Highway, Coral Gables, FL 33133. This is a neighborhood city location, not an airport counter, so the pickup process differs from renting at Miami International Airport.
When picking up at this Hertz address in Coral Gables, bring your booking confirmation, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, your driver's license, and your passport or government-issued photo ID. All documents must be physical originals, as digital copies are not accepted at the counter.
If you are arriving by air and prefer to pick up directly at the airport, Hertz also operates near Miami International Airport at 3900 NW 25th Street, Suite 410, Miami, FL 33122, which is approximately 13.5 km from the Coral Gables city center.
What documents do I need to pick up my Hertz rental in Coral Gables?
To collect your Hertz rental in Coral Gables, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
- A physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, used for the security deposit hold
- A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
- Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad
If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license. For licenses in English or Latin-alphabet languages, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at the Hertz counter in Coral Gables.
Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.
How do toll roads work when renting a Hertz car in Coral Gables?
Florida's toll roads are almost entirely cashless, and this applies to all routes you are likely to use around Coral Gables. The main electronic systems are SunPass and E-PASS, and most expressways near Miami use plate-based billing (Toll-by-Plate) where no cash lanes exist.
When you pick up your Hertz vehicle in Coral Gables, you will typically have two options:
- Purchase an unlimited toll package at approximately US$13.99 per day or US$69.95 per week, which covers all tolls during your rental
- Decline the package and pay per use, in which case Hertz will charge the actual toll amount plus an administrative fee of approximately US$9.99 per day on any day a toll is incurred
Common toll roads near Coral Gables include the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express lanes, with estimated daily toll costs of US$5 to US$20 depending on your route. If you plan to drive between Miami and Orlando, expect approximately US$15 to US$30 in tolls one way.
Toll charges can appear on your credit card days or even weeks after you return the Hertz vehicle, as toll agencies process invoices in batches. Keep your rental agreement and any toll receipts to reconcile charges.
Can I get a toll cashback when renting a Hertz car in Coral Gables?
Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Hertz rental in Coral Gables.
Florida's toll network around Coral Gables is entirely cashless, so you will almost certainly encounter toll charges whether you use the Florida Turnpike, I-95 Express lanes, or other expressways in the Miami area. The Tolls Cashback benefit helps offset those costs.
To claim your cashback after returning your Hertz vehicle in Coral Gables:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the car
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - followed by your reservation confirmation number
- Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a toll receipt or invoice showing charges paid
Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for your reservation and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted, so act promptly once your rental ends.
What are the driving rules I should know before renting a Hertz car in Coral Gables?
Coral Gables has several road features that can catch first-time drivers off guard, and knowing them before picking up your Hertz rental will make navigating the city much easier.
- Coral Gables has 71 traffic circles and multiple roundabouts throughout its residential and commercial streets. You must yield to vehicles already in the circle and proceed one lane at a time.
- US 1 (South Dixie Highway) runs diagonally through the city center, intersecting east-west and north-south streets at unusual angles that can disorient drivers used to standard grid layouts.
- Ongoing reconstruction projects on Biltmore Way, Granada Plaza, and Miracle Mile have reduced lanes, added pedestrian-priority zones, and created temporary detours. Expect narrower traffic lanes and altered intersection layouts in these areas.
- Giralda Avenue is periodically closed to vehicles for pedestrian events using bollards, so plan alternate routes if driving in that area on evenings or weekends.
- Residential streets use physical traffic calming measures including speed humps, chicanes, and median islands, enforcing lower speeds more aggressively than in most U.S. suburbs.
Drive at posted speeds and allow extra time when navigating central Coral Gables in your Hertz rental, particularly around the Miracle Mile and Biltmore Way corridors.
How much is the security deposit for a Hertz rental in Coral Gables?
When you pick up your Hertz rental in Coral Gables, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card as a security deposit. For standard vehicles rented in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount varies by vehicle class, rental duration, and the specific Hertz location.
A few important points to keep in mind:
- The hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the vehicle.
- Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement. It can take up to 15 business days after return for the credit to reappear.
- You must present a physical major credit card with your name printed on it. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit at the Hertz counter in Coral Gables.
- Premium or specialty vehicle classes may carry a higher hold amount.
Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined or does not have sufficient available credit to cover the hold.
Is there a young driver surcharge for renting a Hertz car in Coral Gables?
Yes, drivers under 25 years old are subject to a young-driver surcharge when renting a Hertz vehicle in Coral Gables. In the United States, Hertz charges an additional daily fee for renters aged 21 to 24, and most vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older.
Specifically for Hertz in Coral Gables:
- The young-driver surcharge is approximately US$13.50 per rental day, with a maximum charge of US$189 for the rental period
- Vehicle classes such as full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, convertibles, luxury, and premium cars are typically restricted to renters aged 25 and over
- Economy, compact, and intermediate categories are generally available to renters aged 21 to 24
Florida does not have a state law requiring rentals to drivers under 21 (unlike New York or Michigan), so the minimum age at the Hertz Coral Gables location is 21 for eligible vehicle classes. Drivers under 21 cannot rent.
All standard requirements still apply regardless of age: a valid driver's license, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, and any required International Driving Permit.
What insurance coverage is included in my Hertz booking in Coral Gables?
The insurance coverage included in your Hertz rental in Coral Gables depends on the rate plan you selected when booking. It is important to review your booking confirmation carefully before arriving at the counter.
The two main protections to look for are:
- Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Hertz rental vehicle. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW and LDW do not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
- Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. In Florida, not all rental rates include this automatically, so check your confirmation. Adding supplemental liability coverage of up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.
Neither CDW nor LDW covers tires, undercarriage, roof damage, or personal belongings. Prohibited use such as off-road driving, driving under the influence, or unauthorized drivers voids coverage entirely.
At the Hertz counter in Coral Gables, review the rental agreement carefully before signing to confirm which protections are active and what deductibles apply.
Does my Hertz rental in Coral Gables include travel assistance if something goes wrong?
Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Hertz rental in Coral Gables as well. However, this benefit is available only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify.
If you are eligible, the travel assistance coverage typically includes:
- Medical coverage for up to 5 passengers for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses
- Legal assistance in the event of a road accident, which is particularly relevant on busy routes like US 1 and the Florida Turnpike near Coral Gables
- Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
If you need assistance during your Hertz rental in Coral Gables, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day:
- Phone: +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free)
- WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
- Email: [email protected]
Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Always contact the assistance line before incurring medical or legal expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorization. Check your booking confirmation for the exact coverage limits that apply to your reservation.
Can I add an additional driver to my Hertz rental in Coral Gables?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz rental in Coral Gables, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.
For Hertz in Coral Gables, the additional driver fee is approximately US$13.50 per rental day, with a maximum charge of US$189 for the rental period, unless your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no extra cost.
To add a driver at the Hertz counter in Coral Gables:
- The additional driver must be physically present at pickup
- They must present a valid driver's license and, if required, an International Driving Permit
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
- The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirements. Drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to a young-driver surcharge on top of the additional driver fee
Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW and liability insurance. If someone not named on the contract drives the Hertz vehicle in Coral Gables, coverage may be void and additional charges could apply.
What is the fuel policy for Hertz rentals in Coral Gables?
Hertz rentals in Coral Gables follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.
To avoid extra costs at the end of your rental:
- Check the fuel gauge with the Hertz agent at pickup and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the Coral Gables location
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
If you return the Hertz vehicle in Coral Gables with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee.
Use the correct fuel type for your vehicle. Wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges. If you are unsure which fuel to use, check the rental agreement or ask the Hertz agent at the Coral Gables counter.
Can I pick up a Hertz car in Coral Gables and return it in a different city?
Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Hertz in Coral Gables, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location.
Here is how it works:
- If you return the Hertz vehicle to a different city or airport, a one-way drop-off fee is typically added. This fee varies by route, distance, vehicle class, and season.
- Same-city returns, such as picking up at the Coral Gables branch and returning to Miami International Airport, often carry no drop-off fee, but this depends on the specific route.
- Long-distance one-ways, such as Coral Gables to Orlando or another state, usually incur a drop-off fee.
- Cross-border one-ways, such as driving into another country, may be restricted or require special authorization from Hertz.
When booking, the drop-off fee for your Hertz Coral Gables reservation will be shown on the rate details page under the section labeled as charges due at destination. Review this before confirming your booking so there are no surprises at the counter.
If you need to change your return location after booking, contact support promptly, as mid-rental route changes must be approved by the partner and may increase the fee or affect availability.
What happens if my Hertz pickup in Coral Gables is delayed due to a late flight?
If your flight is delayed and you cannot reach the Hertz counter in Coral Gables at your scheduled pickup time, your reservation will generally be held for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time, provided the branch is still open when you arrive.
Key points to keep in mind:
- If your delay is less than 24 hours, Hertz will hold your booking. Make sure you arrive during the branch's operating hours at 370 South Dixie Highway in Coral Gables.
- If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support as soon as possible via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or by email at [email protected]. Changes are not guaranteed but the team will assist where possible.
- After-hours pickup options at the Coral Gables Hertz location are not confirmed in available information, so arriving during staffed hours is strongly recommended.
If you are flying into Miami International Airport and plan to pick up at the Hertz branch in Coral Gables rather than at the airport location, factor in travel time of approximately 20 to 30 minutes between MIA and the Coral Gables address, depending on traffic on US 1 and surrounding roads.
